"Cliff" is a nom de guerre. It's an open secret here that Dennis is Cliff's real name, unless of course it's a dream within a dream...

So, he picked the name Cliff because of his great love of the '80s? (Clifton Hanger era.) Sorry, couldn't resist ...

Cliff hucking appears to be skiing lingo for jumping off of cliffs and (I think) generally being a bad-ass back-country skier. Based on earlier posts, we do know that Cliff enjoys that sort of thing (I believe he's been deposited by helicopter on ungroomed slopes in Alaska at least once), so that presumably is how he chose his handle. Our bad for assuming it's a first name.

News flash: William Tell's first name isn't William.

William Tell's first name isn't really William?

Thanks for the birthday wishes Lou. And yes it's true. Clifton Hucker was derived from Brent's alias...
